Early days yet for our team and there will be matches that we could’ve n should’ve won along the way still to come ,but I feel we are resilient enough to withstand what Leigh will throw at us with or without a new coach at the helm . They will have targeted us as a game to win regardless of this news and will come out all guns blazing ,but we have too much power on the park I think and as long as we turn out a performance anything like the last two ,it’s in the bag with the only doubt being the scoreline.It’s a win all the way and another huge step in the right direction I’d say .

That’s the right word, resilient. That’s a key ingredient for any decent team. If we are not resilient after the last wretched 18 month we never will be.

Who is referee this week

It won’t be Thaler the only decent one.

If you think all the issues the Club have faced over the last 15 months have disappeared you’re deluded. Even now, they can’t make any money from food and beverage for 3 games on the trot and the big one against Cas. That, I am told will see the Club forego circa £50k in pure profit. No other regime at Wakefield would have survived IMO. Other clubs have sugar daddies to sustain them, and most of the clubs see 2021 as a battle to survive.

I never said that did I. I’m talking on the pitch, that is a different issue and a different thread. I’m certain you’re right but winning on the pitch has to come first. If we can’t beat Leigh now then we will struggle.

So please explain what your point has to do with beating Leigh? You appear to be arguing a completely different issue with yourself. On this occasion finances have absolutely nothing to do with this unless your suggesting we can’t pay the players, are you?

This needs to be the time when we lay our inconsistency hoo doo to rest once and for all. I can't see us losing to Leigh, but how many times have we said that prior to a game against an "easy" opposition

Leigh board some are saying only 12 fit players. Can’t see it personally.

This is exactly the game we need the players and club to show the same resilience and hard work they have the previous 2 games.

I believe if we beat Leigh we can start to look up the table and start chasing that middle pack. We will be well on the heels of the bulk of clubs chasing playoffs.

I have no doubt the players are purely reaping the rewards of hard work in training and effort. I actually have confidence they can maintain it and not relent.

I’ve got my tickets and I will be there shouting them on! That’s what they need from us this weekend. I’m actually looking forward to seeing them play, the excitement for me is well and truly back.

If you carry on playing like you have in the last 2 games you shouldn't even be thinking about relegation. They weren't just good performances but by a team that believed in itself.

On the back of our resident doommonger saying fans shouldn’t settle for second best, I’m just happy that our Club is still here

I don’t think you can call Snowie a doommonger and he isn’t wrong in wanting to see the club do better either.

Yeah he’s full of positivity

Dont think we wouldnt under any other any owner/chairman or what ever his title is..MCforsome reason gets some stick of some fans udeserved in my view..hopefully i can win 107mill on friday ill certainly trust him with the millions i donate to the club....i can dream

I'll second that.
If I win I'll be putting my money in.

You know that some on here will complain that you didn't put enough in, and when you buy Trbojevic and Papali you are stopping the kids getting a chance.

Which stand would you put your name on?
Luppylad North Stand or are you in the Poptart East Stand with me

Ridiculous purchase we need a hooker!

We are capable of winning this match, however, same reasoning applied last year, re - London !
Remind me, we lost the 1st two easily, we had to win the decider ?
I do hope we don't repeat that non-sense !!!!!

Very true. We have the weakest squad in the league (by a country mile) and are missing quite a lot of players as well. Only 2 games have we lost by 10 points or less, bizarrely against Wigan & Saints. You could afford to rest a few players who are carrying knocks, and still win by 12+ points....sadly

I think if we win this match we will be safe. SO MUST WIN ha ha

Salford are already safe with 2 points

Long way to go yet, keep some faith, Leigh haven't gone yet!

Says the guy who only comes in to attack other posters. You’re not a barrel of laughs yourself.

How can you say "it's a different issue", revenue into the club is what allows us to put together a competitive squad.
It's all very much the same issue.

Yes, we want the players that we have to be fit and performing somewhere near 8/10 every week.

Although you accuse me of being negative, I'd go for realistic.

If Trinity are 8th, 9th 10th in the spending list on players then, in a straight line, this would be our finishing position in the table.
Of course, we then add into the mix the ability of our coaching staff, compared to others.

I dont accept that suggesting that we will finish 8th, 9th, 10th is negative or, accepting of mediocrity.

Unless and until we are able to spend something close to the top 4/5 clubs, we have no right to challenge them.
Of course, if we get all of our ducks in a row and put a few wins together, and those bigger spending clubs dont, we can and do beat them.

Anyway, back to the game on Sunday.
We should be making it 3 in a row and we should be beating Leigh by 20+ points but, the uncertainty is what makes sport interesting.
Watching how we cope with the favourites tag and seeing if our progress continues.

It's fantastic to be back at BV and being able to watch a decent game and talking of "luck", our return to playing in front of fans, at home, has certainly helped our cause and with this coinciding with playing some lower ranked clubs, we have a great spring board to make progress up the table.

Am I dreaming of a play off spot ? Not yet but, lets see what happens

Because it’s a completely different issue how obvious can it be.

The over all financial well being of the club is a long running issue of great concern, no doubt.

But it has sod all to do with the team performance in a single game. There is NO connection.

Unless the players have not been paid, in what way do the clubs finances affect Sunday? They simply don’t.

What will effect Sunday are injuries, tactics, attitude and luck. WTRLFC’S balance sheet is on no importance for those 80 mins.

It baffles me that you can’t see a difference between living in the moment and the wider issues of life. Those 80 minutes are about escapism, that’s the point and on current form you’d have to expect a win.

As I keep saying I’d not be the least surprised if we blew it and lost but I’m not expecting it, in the same way I don’t expect to get run over every time I cross the road whilst wondering if I can pay my electric bill.

Enjoy the game and hope for the best

‘Attack’ other posters? You’re confusing me with yourself

If we play like we can then Leigh could have a long afternoon, suspect that they may have a few back but there squad makes ours like world beaters! On a more serious note what is the point in relegation this year? How does it help super league - so assuming that leigh get relegated what's going to happen to the team that comes up fev? london.

Fev would need about ten new players and realistically are probably quite happy with being a top second tier side. Apart from the league saying we have a club in London what do they bring to the table - never get more than a 1,000 fans, literally in the middle of no where so the days of going to fulham etc and having a weekend in london have long gone. Toulouse best players are tony gigot and remy castry

Leigh at least have a decent backer, great facilities, almost a competitive squad its just crazy, their squad are currently being picked over (which just shows how convinced some of their players are about the long term) by wigan
